		<description><![CDATA[As the campaigning for the 2012 election nears, America is still in deep trouble in unemployment and ever-increasing job-killing import competition. We lost 55,000 manufacturing facilities in the last decade, and those losses continue at about 1,000 per month along with many more good jobs.
